simonas Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 As you may know I'm new to Supra owning, had mine 2 1/2 weeks. my rear tyres are bald and I can see from invoices that they were only replaced 4500 miles ago and before then about another 5000 miles!!!!!!!!!!!![sHOCK][/sHOCK] Is this normal? if not thats quite shocking use of tyres!! If normal what harder wearing tyres do you guys run and how long do they last Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Not normal. My last set of rears both lasted around 12k miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian R Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 As we everything depends how you use them. If the car has been down the strip then that would expain a bit. After returning from the Nurburgring I will soon be replacing tyres and brakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 They shouldn't wear any quicker than tyres on other cars. If a previous owner (or yourself) regularly pulled off aggresively enough to spin the wheels, then they obviously wear quickly. Soft compound tyres will also wear quickly. Mine last for ages. Had the car 2 years, still on the same rubber with plenty of tread.... but I do drive like a grandad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Hopefully much longer now the RLTC is onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 My goodyear f1's last me 10k miles I believe. That's around what I do a year anyway and I usually end up replace the rears every year and the fronts every two. Of course I don't drive like too much of a nutter so milage may vary Worth getting full suspension geometry checked out by someone who know's what they're doing though.

simonas Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 cheers for that. I haven't been driving like a loon and I know Piehound before me didn't as well so seems to be a problem with way the car is set up. I shall have to get that checked! cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
